KETO RECIPE: Cauliflower Steaks With Bacon and Blue Cheese

Jen Fisch

This recipe has all of the yummy flavors of a wedge salad, but paired with a hearty warm cauliflower steak as the base and topped with melted cheese and a cool drizzle of blue cheese dressing.

Cauliflower Steaks With Bacon and Blue Cheese

Serves: 2

Prep time: 5 minutes

Cook time: 25 minutes

INGREDIENTS

  • 2-3 tablespoons of olive oil or brushing “steaks”

  • 1 head of cauliflower

  • Pink Himalayan salt

  • Freshly ground black pepper

  • 4 slices of bacon

  • 2 tablespoons blue cheese salad dressing 

  • ½ cup shredded cheddar cheese

 DIRECTIONS

  1. Preheat the oven to 425 degrees. Place parchment paper on a baking sheet. 

  2. To prep the cauliflower steaks, remove and discard the leaves and cut the cauliflower into 1” thick slices. You can roast the extra floret crumbles that fall off with the steaks. 

  3. Place the cauliflower steaks on the baking sheet and brush them with olive oil. You want the surface lightly coated so it gets caramelized. Season with salt and pepper. 

  4. Place the bacon slices on the baking sheet along with the cauliflower steaks. 

  5. Roast the cauliflower steaks and bacon slices for 20 minutes. 

  6. Remove the baking sheet from the oven, place the crispy bacon slices on a plate lined with a paper towel. Crumble the bacon. 

  7. Put shredded cheddar cheese on top of cauliflower steaks and return to the oven until the cheese melts, about 2 minutes. 

  8. Remove the steaks from the oven top with crumbled bacon and drizzle blue cheese dressing on top.
